I say this without any malice ,and yes my opinion and life experience come into play. It SEEMS to me you are looking for a reasonable reason to buy this car. The more experienced ,more knowledgable Pelicans say don't buy it. Some of the lesser experienced pelicans say to buy it. I am a member of the lesser Pelicans but smart enough ,experienced enough to agree with the members who discourage this purchase .You've not owned a 911 before but you like them. That's great. And this one seems so reasonably priced and you think it looks good. You are possibly willing to bet your money that it will turn out to be one of the 175,000 mile unopened tank like examples. That is your heart thinking that. The chances of that being the experience you will have are very low. What is much more likely is that once it sinks in that you have bought a cobbled up mess that this car certainly is ,your thoughts will be "why didn't I listen ,why didn't I look for an unmolested PPI 'd , service record rich example for a few dollars more and have something I could be proud of the provenance on" . At least with the latter described car ,repair costs may be reflected in the resale. With this car ,a total restoration will not raise the value by much. That is why in my previous post ,I said ,you may feel like parting it out with a sledgehammer. I humbly suggest you find a "good to great" example and start there.good luck with whatever you decide and welcome to the forum. Thanks for reading ,Wayne
